Medicine Cabinet Door ... Makeover!

This project has been in the works for a while (thanks to too much hospital time the past week!).
It started with an old medicine cabinet door I found at a junk sale a couple of weeks ago ($12) .... and an empty spot on my laundry room wall, just begging for something old.

("x" marks the spot!)

Old windows and doors are my favorite ..... so when I saw this old medicine cabinet door, I fell in love with it's uniqueness. :-)
LOVED the old glass knob, too!

The knob was attached to a large hook on the back, so I just beat the hook down flat with a hammer.

It felt good.
Hitting things with hammers is fun.
Ever tried it....?

Next, I flipped the door over and spray primed and spray painted the whole thing (I used an etching primer because I was spray painting over a mirror, too), and then painted the inset mirror part with chalkboard paint.

(tin foil worked GREAT to cover the glass knob while spray painting!:)~

To finish it up, I screwed in some bronze hooks along the bottom, too!

I had to bite the bullet and face my chalk-o-phobia to use some "real" chalk (as opposed to my usual chalk ink markers!) so that I could use that sweet color of turquoise chalk ...... which, of course, matches my Ladder Laundry Rack!

(I've spray painted it again since I originally posted it .... it's a little softer shade of turquoise now than the original color, shown in original post HERE.)

I'll show you some other fun stuff in my laundry room soon ....
Stay tuned!
